Dragon Sword and Wind Child

Über

Dragon Sword and Wind Child is the first book of award-winning fantasy writer Noriko Ogiwara. The book, originally written in Japanese in 1988 as: Sorairo Magatama, won her several awards for children's literature and was later translated into English by Cathy Hirano in 1993 as Dragon Sword and Wind Child.
Viz Media LLC, a publisher of English-translated manga, republished the novel in English in October 2007.
Ogiwara wrote two sequels, Hakuchou Iden and Usubeni Tennyo. Until 2011, these sequels have only been published in Japanese; in May 2011, Viz published an English translation of Hakuchou Iden as Mirror Sword and Shadow Prince. Together, the three books are known as "The Jade Trilogy".
